New Lithtech Movies

Related Topics – Games: PC, Monolith

Lithtech has released two new AVI movies, showing off their Triton system as it's used in Monolith's TRON 2.0. Here's a description of the movies, along with links to both of them on FileShack courtesy of Speakeasy.

As a derivative of the powerful LithTech Jupiter system, Triton features an all-new high poly renderer and unprecedented special effects. In the Massive Firewall AVI, notice the large scale of the environment and the huge rotating rings in the background. The Glow Effects AVI highlights the results of a joint effort between Nvidia and LithTech and definitely captures the feel of the TRON franchise.

damn, I'm severely underwhelmed...again. Monolith has some pretty darn cool ideas, but their games always end up looking like butt and feeling unfinished. NOLF is their only good game, and that game looked like butt and felt a bit rushed as well. This is just my opinion...I'm sure there's a lith fan-boy somewhere out there :P

That glowing sure looks nice. It would be nice if the light actually shined on surrounding objects other than the player? It looks weird when something is lit but the surrounding area dosnt get lit.

I will flame the lithtech, the engine is so 1998. Granted nolf was a decently fun game, but at any point did you wish this game WAS on the lithtec engine. The graphics of that game were horrid, gameplay is what saved it. New lithtech still looks years behind everything else, when will they learn.

The Firewall looks awesome and the characters animations looks plain great! But I still think the glow effect is too strong. Especially on the characters..

Aside this it looks really cool. And the sound adds a lot here to the 'tron' atmosphere compared to the screenshots.. Tron was an incredible collection of buzz and drone sounds.

I don't care about the eye candy; if it looks like the Q1 engine and still plays great, I'd be happy.
